Hi List Members,
Cool image of gondola NYC 715035 with load in 1960 at Lukens Steel. Note
the gon has some kind of internal (possibly semi-permanent?) structure to help
brace the load
Enjoy!

Definitely NOT 1960. Probably winter 1951=1952. That gondola is pristine, and was built in October 1951. Cool load. What would these be used for?

Load looks like ends or caps for large tanks. The hole makes me think of a horizontal propane tank or something similar.

There were 2500 of these gondolas in lots 821-G to 823-G and lot 829-G built in 1951 and an additional 1000 built in 1952 in lot 830-G.
They would be a great modeling subject given their large numbers. -Phil

Phil,
These gons are fairly well represented by the Proto2000 model (need a few detail changes), and by the old National Car Cast (1960s Canadian very small company) ABS moldings of a rebuilt PC configuration. Todd Sullivan.

I wish we could get an updated version of that end. I missed it the 80s. I was in grade school and who knew I’d need one nearly 40 years later LOL.
